A light theme's accent as a fill on the always-dark chrome was ~2.8:1 (Slate), under the 3:1 a
control needs. A native checkbox and slider tint with `accent-chosen` (the accent elsewhere, the
media amber under `media-marks`), and so does the skip button's countdown. The progress bar plays
white with an amber head: amber there marks a place, as the intro / credits markers do, and an amber
played part made a marker ahead of the head read as already played (owner's choice of three).
The underline named `--color-chosen`, which is resolved once on :root, so it stayed the accent under
`media-marks` (seen in the browser: fuchsia on Slate light); it reads `--chosen` where it is used
now. An icon button pressed or with its menu open tinted its glyph with the accent; it takes the
chosen colour — the accent everywhere but the player chrome, where it is the media amber.
yt-dlp's `max_filesize` only stops a plain HTTP file that announces its size: YouTube's fragmented
formats never meet it — measured on localdev, a 718 MB download ran to the end with 1 MB left and
put its owner four times over the cap. The download now re-reads what is left once its file is made
(after the phone-safe pass) and refuses one larger than that as the owner's refusal; an editor clip,
which nothing checked, is held the same way, as a player clip already was.
A light theme's accent as text on the always-dark chrome was 2.84:1 (Slate). `--chosen` is the
accent unless a scope names its own; `media-marks` (was media-focus) points it, with the focus
ring, at the media amber. A chosen track stays white with an amber tick (MenuCheck reads
`text-chosen`); a chosen settings tab or toggle is white with an amber underline (MEDIA_CHOSEN).
The theme contract test holds the token, the tick and the player components free of accent text.
yt-dlp refuses a file announced over `max_filesize` by logging one line and returning with no file
(measured, and pinned in test_formats against a local server): the worker found no output and
failed the job as `postprocess`. `formats.watching_size_cap` now sees that line through our yt-dlp
logger, and the download (and, should it ever happen, a YouTube clip's range fetch) fails as the
owner's refusal with DOWNLOAD_TOO_BIG_MESSAGE, classified `quota_exceeded`. The download's quota
copy says it does not fit in what is left — true at a full cap too — instead of "Storage full".
A pre-existing type error the change touched is fixed (baseline down by one).
- useTimecodeField holds a time field's draft for its caller, which places TimecodeError (role
alert) in its own flow under the fields' row: it no longer lies over the crop row taking its
clicks, runs out of the editor's card, or joins the field's <label> name.
- The editor's remove-cut buttons sit in a row under the track at their cut (trackLeft), off the
cut's grab area, where a press drags it; RangeTrack's adornment slot is gone.
- media-focus re-points --focus to the media amber on the Plex player, the YouTube stage and every
bg-media-chrome surface; a contract test holds each such class string to media-focus or
media-scope, the field's focus edge to the focus token, and --color-focus to the inline theme.
- An upload's quota headline says the converted file does not fit, not "Storage full".
- DESIGN.md: the tokens paragraph says what is re-pointed where; the decision row measures all
three colours on the chrome.
- A converted upload over the space left (not zero) fails with CONVERTED_TOO_BIG_MESSAGE, not
"storage is full"; it classifies as quota_exceeded by the phrase it shares with the clip's.
- The public watch page says "preparing" only for a job a worker will take: a suspended owner's
queued job waits for as long as the suspension lasts, so the link says the video is gone, as
for a paused rebuild.
- The worker's claim docstring names the restart case: a running job put back in the queue waits.
TimecodeField drops a draft when the value moves under it (another segment selected, a nudge), so
leaving the field never commits it to another cut; it is invalid only once offered, with a line
under it saying how to type a time. On the always-dark chrome media-scope points every focus ring
at --media-mark and errors at the new --media-danger (a light theme's accent and danger were under
3:1 there). A track whose dragged handle unmounts ends the drag on the pointer's release instead of
locking up; a remove refused while clips are queued leaves no focus to take later; each remove-cut
button names its cut and is a 24px target. DESIGN.md records the media tokens; stale comments fixed.
A suspension now blocks the user's downloads as quota.resolve already advised: the worker leaves
their queued jobs unclaimed until it is lifted (the confirm says so). A cut clip larger than the
remaining storage is refused with its own message (not "storage is full"), and a clip's quota
refusal reads as a clip's in both languages. The cancel poll compares to JobStatus.RUNNING.
- A media amber (`--media-mark`), the same in both themes, for what marks a place on the always-dark
chrome or over a video: the clip strip's playhead and focused end, the crop frame's ring, Plex's
intro / credits markers. A light theme's warn was a dark amber there, under 3:1 (contract-tested).
- The editor's remove-cut button rings inside itself (the track clipped its ring), and once it goes
with its cut the focus moves to the cut beside it, or to Split here, not to <body>.
- A mark on the very end seeks a moment short of it; while a clip is marked the end of the item
neither closes the player nor steps the queue, and Plex's auto-skip waits.
- Plex: Escape and Back peel what is over the picture (info, up-next, the countdown) before the
clip; Back under a dialog is the dialog's; no range opens while the length is unknown.
- YouTube: the focus goes back to the scissors the user can see, else the player; the panel keeps
its name, Loop and focus when the view is maximised or restored under it.
- A typed time stays in its field until taken, then shows where it landed; unreadable stays marked
invalid; a decimal comma is read (ui/TimecodeField, the editor's fields too).
- RangeTrack: a drag is its pointer's, a cancelled drag reports final, an adornment sits beside the
slider, a caller-chosen focus ring (amber on the clip strip). CropFrame: a drag is its pointer's.
- The editor's remove-cut is a real button at the cut's foot; a segment's keep toggle sits over the
cut's hit area.
- The cut file is measured against what its owner has left, for a YouTube range (whose fetch never
reads yt-dlp's size ceiling) and for a Plex clip (which fetches nothing), before the fetch and
again before it is placed; a refusal leaves the asset pending for a Retry.
- A silent Plex file is cut silent; a file the probe cannot read says so.
- A second job on a failed or renamed clip gets the same YouTube diagnosis and the fetched title.
- The "too long" refusal names the server's cap; a contract test holds the client's copies of the
clip limits to clip.py; the shipped player clients are pinned against the installed yt-dlp.
- One HDR transfer set and one rating_key lookup; job status words from JobStatus; the display-name
guard sees subscript writes and the clip route; stale comments and types follow the clip job.
The handles reach 10 px into the frame from every side; a frame at its minimum on a small picture
(the Downloads editor at 800 px: 41 x 23) was then nearly all handle - 74 of its 920 px still moved
it. Below 64 px on its shorter side the frame takes 12 px corners and 8 px edges: 262 px move it.
The press is held back from the page (no text selection, no play / pause underneath), which also
kept it from focusing: after a drag the arrows still went to whatever had the focus before, and
Escape did not reach the frame. The press now focuses the frame or the corner it grabbed (an edge
focuses its frame).
An optional crop in clip mode: a Crop toggle puts a frame on the picture (free, 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1;
the whole picture stays the default). The frame is sent in fractions of the box it was drawn in,
with that box's shape; the worker fits the real picture into the box by its display aspect (sample
aspect and rotation aware), drops the part over the bars, and crops first in the filter chain. A
frame covering the whole box is no crop at all, and one off the picture is refused by name.
The crop frame is a ui primitive (CropFrame) shared with the video editor, keyboard-operable.
YouTube: the wide side panel shuts while clipping and comes back after; maximised, the clip panel
docks in the stage. Plex: the picture sits above the clip panel so the frame lies on it.
The backend refuses a clip with a structured reason, but the client showed every one as the generic
"couldn't make the clip": each reason now has its own message in both languages, held to the
backend's reasons in both directions by the contract test. A segmented toggle's and the priority
stepper's buttons had no type, so inside a form one of them submitted it.
Both players get a scissors in their control row (Plex: the control row; YouTube: the actions and
the docked bar), `c`, and `[` / `]` to mark at the playhead. The clip panel lives in the player, so
the watched video is the preview: an overview of the whole item and a zoomed strip around the
selection whose ends are sliders (arrows step a tenth, Shift a second), Start / End fields with
nudges and "to the playhead", the length, a looping Play selection, a name, Cut. Escape closes the
panel before the player and the focus goes back to the scissors. A cut is a toast with a Downloads
link plus the usual Ready notification.
- ui/RangeTrack + RulerTicks: the shared, domain-free time track (regions, keyboard-steppable
handles with a 1.5rem hit area, a playhead, a background slot, over a window of the item). The
Downloads editor's cuts moved onto it, so they are keyboard-steppable now.
- lib/clipRange holds the marking rules (1 s to 10 min, the server's), lib/timecode the editing
timecode the editor's private tc/parseTc became.
- keymap: a symbol typed through AltGr answers its bare-symbol row - on the HU layout `[` is
AltGr+F, which arrives as Ctrl+Alt; letter and Mod rows still never match Ctrl+Alt.
- The YouTube stage sits in a wrapper with the panel, so the maximised stage's blur escape matches
at any depth.
- media-scope: fields on the always-dark player chrome read white in a light theme too.
A clip fetched its range signed out, so a video behind YouTube's per-video "not a bot" wall could
never be clipped while its download went through with the user's cookie - and the failure copy told
the user to add a cookie the clip would not use. The clip asset is private by construction
(`clip.asset_ref` names its user), so `usable_clip_cookie` attaches the user's YouTube cookie on that
identity, and a failed range fetch now carries the download catalog's diagnosis
(`youtube.bot_wall` / `youtube.cookie_rejected`) instead of a bare category.
POST /api/downloads/clip takes a source (a YouTube id or a Plex rating key), a range of at most
ten minutes and, for Plex, the audio track being heard. The clip becomes a per-user asset in the
library like an editor clip, shareable as soon as it is ready. A YouTube clip fetches only its
range (yt-dlp download_ranges: 3-7 s whatever the video's length); a Plex clip reads the library
file in place. Both then go through one re-encode: frame-exact at the marks, H.264 at most 1080p
with HDR tonemapped to SDR, stereo AAC, no chapter track, .mp4.
Job kinds are a JobKind StrEnum now, and Re-download refuses every kind but a download.
The primary player client, android_vr, was still offered 1080p and 2160p, but every fetch of
those formats died with HTTP 403: it now needs a stream PO token the bgutil sidecar cannot mint.
The fallback set then served 360p only, so every download finished at 360p without failing.
tv_simply is offered the full ladder and its fetch completes (measured: 1080p, and a localdev
download through the pipeline reached the default profile's 720p). yt-dlp 2026.8.19 marks
the clients that need such a token, so it stops fetching into the 403.
Turning ready, the pointer leaving the video, the window regaining focus, a wheel over it and
leaving fullscreen each put the focus back on the card unconditionally, so a viewer who had
tabbed to a control right after opening started over from the first button on the next Tab.
They now take it back only when it sits in the iframe or off the card.
int() refuses a decimal run past 4300 digits, so one such reference in a summary raised out of the sync and the text migration. Any number past seven significant digits is beyond U+10FFFF, so it becomes U+FFFD like any out-of-range reference; leading zeros are dropped first. The rails test's comment now says what it guards: both rails agree with the rollup.
Focus had scrolled the clamped box itself; opened, the link dropped by that much, out of a scrolling panel's sight. DESIGN states where Close sits in the stacked layout; a stale test comment goes.
Send order let a refetch read before an unanswered mark committed and drop it. A reset's position 0 is written again after a refetch that set out before the server took the reset. The player-session refetch also waits for the player's closing checkpoint, which the player now tracks (progressFlushes); refetched first, the list put the older position back.
The ↻ intent was spent as its fetch set out, so a watched toggle's resync cancelling that fetch re-ran it as a re-read of the old draw. It now lasts until the latest deal answers. The button spun on every re-read of the same titles; it now follows the deal. Comments that said the Surprise draw is never refetched are brought in line.
Both Continue-watching rails built a show's card state inline; they now take it from rollup.show_state, so a show part watched with nothing to resume offers Play alone there too. A named reference counts only when its whole name is an HTML5 entity: html.unescape still decoded the legacy "¬" inside "¬ice;". Tests cover the grid's in-progress-but-not-resumable case through its SQL and both rails.
Show cards carry resumable (ShowState, from the same rollup) so a part-watched
show whose next episode is untouched offers Play, not a Continue and a Restart
that do the same thing; plexStarted is the one rule for cards and menus. The
Surprise rail's key sits under the discover root: whatever refreshes the rails
re-reads the draw (keep=) with its watch state now, kept past the 5-minute gc,
and only the reshuffle deals. Closing the player refreshes the Discover rails.
A show card's play acts on the last click only, and only where it was made.
With the side panel shut the title heading was gone, and the dialog it named
went unnamed: the strip carries an sr-only copy. A link below a clamp's cut
stayed tabbable out of sight; reaching it now opens the text, measured from the
text's top since focus scrolls the clamped box. DESIGN describes the modal as
built, with log rows for its chrome and the wheel rule.
html.unescape also decodes the legacy forms without a semicolon, so prose like
"AT¬ice" came out as "AT¬ice". The show and collection sync paths are
now tested too.
A reset wrote a position mask over the cached list, so a replay's saved
position stayed hidden: a reopen resumed at 0 and its first checkpoint wrote
over the progress. The reset now writes 0 into the cache, where the player's
closing patch writes the next one. Overrides carry their write order, and a
landing refetch drops only those written before it set out. The player
session ends after the modal unmounts, so a clip auto-marked watched as it
closes still refetches the list.
The rail's query was always stale, so Back from a card's player or page remounted it into a new
draw, as did a return to the window: the card just looked at was gone. It now stands until the
reshuffle (or another scope, language or filter) asks for a new one.
A show card's picture opened the show page everywhere but Home, whose shelves carried the
resolved `next`. Now every Plex picture plays: a show asks `GET /api/plex/show/{id}/next`
(the in-progress episode, else the first unwatched, else S1·E1 — the rule Home and the show
page's Resume follow) on the click, fresh each time. A started show shows Continue + Restart;
its title, an ⓘ and the menu's "Open show" row open its page; one with no episodes opens there.
The question is asked per show, never carried on every card: three probes a show would cost a
grid page up to 180 queries. The hover preview asks it once it opens and names the episode
("Next: S6·E16 — Title"). Related shows on a show page play the same way.
Back from a channel page hands the card its focus again after a mouse trip;
revealed on focus-within, its hover row stayed up under no pointer until a
reload (owner). The row, the Play layer, the Continue + Restart pair and the
global .reveal rule now show on hover or on :focus-visible on the card or
inside it, so Tab and the arrow keys still reveal it.
Marked watched in the player (by hand, or by the player at its end), a card
left an Unwatched list at once, then came back as "new" when the player
closed, until a reload. The player's closing position patch writes into the
cached feed; the feed took the bumped dataUpdatedAt for fresh server data,
dropped its optimistic overrides, and nothing refetched. The overrides now
clear only when a refetch lands, and a player session that changed a state
refetches the list and its count by the view's filters on close, once its
writes have landed.
Under "Open the channel" a video card's menu (the right-click on its
channel name included) adds the channel to the feed's channel filter, or,
when it is already in, takes it out. Channels OR together, so it widens a
filter that names others, as "Show in feed" does. Not on a channel page,
whose view is that channel already, nor in a live YouTube search or on Home.
- The full-height previous/next strips beside the card are gone: the panel's
transport row and Shift+arrows step on their own, and the video gains the
7rem the strips' gutters took.
- Close is one icon in the card's top-right corner (the wide panel's head,
the stacked card's title row).
- The panel's description is cut to three lines with More / Less
(ClampedText now takes the linked text as children).
- Wide, the panel shuts to a 2.75rem strip (close, open, previous, next) for
a bigger video; it stays shut while the queue steps on, and a video opened
from a card starts it open. Focus moves to the counterpart toggle.
- The wheel has one meaning per place: over a panel (or the stacked card)
with something to scroll it only scrolls, never falling through to the
volume at the end; over the video, or a panel that fits, it is the volume.
- A long channel name is cut on the panel's line instead of running the
20rem panel into a sideways scroll.
The media variant's hover darkened its body from 60 to 75% black, which no
one could see on a poster; a rail's scroll arrow over a card could not be told
from the card's own Play under it. Its hover is now a 2px accent ring over an
80% body (owner pick B), on every card control, Plex and YouTube, and the rail
arrows. DESIGN.md B3 names it beside the edged pills, with its log row.
A card title lit like a link but played the item. Now the picture plays and
the title opens the page of what it names: a movie's or an episode's info
page, a show's page, and for an episode standing as its show (Recently
watched) the show. Every poster and episode card carries it (grid, rails,
person, collection, season, related, Home), a card with no page keeps a plain
title, and the season page gains the menu's Details row too.
The episode page had no way up: the detail now serves the show's and the
season's rating keys, and on the page the show title opens the show and
"S1·E25" the season (Back returns to where the page was).
The rail draws three unseen titles per kind under the sidebar filters; on a
small filtered pool every reshuffle dealt the same few again. The redraw now
sends the draw on screen (exclude=), the server deals the rest of the pool
first and tops up from the excluded titles only when the pool is short, so a
small pool still fills the rail. (The two discover.py baseline entries went
with the rewritten draw.)
A Plex agent can hand a summary over as HTML (<p> paragraphs, á
entities); the info page and the hover card showed the tags. One cleaner,
app/plex/plaintext.py, now runs on every summary and tagline the sync, the
Hungarian overlay and the rich-detail fetch store, and migration 0101 cleans
the rows written before through the same function. Paragraph breaks survive
as newlines, which the info page and the hover card now keep.
Rows that just mounted join the menu's navigation list a render after the status effect ran: a row
focused that early was unknown to it, and the arrows did nothing from it (seen live after a keyboard
Retry). The retry test now arrows on from the row it lands on.
When Plex made the collection and only the read after it failed, the kept row had no members: the
title showed unticked in the collection it had just been added to, the collection empty, and the
name stayed in the field for a retry that could only be refused as taken. The seed's row now names
the collection (child_count 1), and the panel clears the field on that refusal as on success. Also
held: the panel's lines sit beside its list, and a keyboard Retry lands on the first row.
The loading / failed-load lines and their Retry sat inside role=menu, which may own its items only:
the three surfaces now open with `listInside` and the rows sit in a PopoverList. A keyboard Retry
unmounted the focused button and left focus on <body> with the menu open, the arrows dead: focus is
put back on the first row, else the field, else the new Retry. The channel tag editor said a failed
tag load as "no tags yet"; it reads the catalog query's state now. The playlist panel's name and the
tag editor's error state are held by tests.
The rollback dropped the new row: the next sync recreated it read-only, out of every 'add to' list, and the duplicate-name check let a retry make a second same-named collection on Plex.
The row menu called the title's action list without the anchor the panel opens beside, and the optional parameter dropped the row silently. The anchor is now required, so every host menu decides.
Three hand-copied panels had drifted: Add to playlist said a failed load as 'no playlists yet'. ui/MembershipMenu now holds them: a loading line and an error with Retry instead of a blank or an empty list, the up/down arrows step from the name field into rows that arrived after the menu opened, and the panels opened from a menu carry their own accessible name. A write that landed flips its tick at once, so a second tap before the refetch undoes it instead of repeating it; a collection edit also refreshes a show's own page.
A direct-played file's own subtitle stream (WebKit lists an mp4's mov_text) was switched to hidden and drawn under any choice, Off included: only the player's <track> is kept hidden and read, other subtitle tracks are switched off. The lift was measured in screen pixels and applied inside the x1.25 windowed player, and re-measured off a box carrying its own (or a mid-slide) transform: an untransformed outer box is measured, the distance divided by the scale, and a cue that just appeared is placed, not slid from where the last one was left.
hls.js emptied the cues of every text track on the element when a manifest
loaded or the media attached, our own <track> included, so a VTT that loaded
first showed nothing for the session; its subtitle and caption controllers are
no longer built. A remounted default <track> was switched to showing by the
browser after the hide had run, drawing the cues natively under ours; the hide
now follows every added track and mode change.
"Add to collection…" opens a panel beside the card: the title's library's
manual collections tick it in or out, and a name + Enter creates a new one with
the title in it. It used to take the Collections page, a new collection, its
name and a title search, then another search per title. A lean endpoint lists
the collections with whether each holds the title. Admin only, as on the
title's page.
Also: a collection seeded with a show is made as a show collection (Plex type
2). Measured: as a movie one it came out empty and refused the show after.
On an iPad the bar covered the text whenever it was up: the browser places a
native cue by its line, which nothing animates. The track now stays loaded as
hidden and PlexSubtitles draws the active cues, measured against the bar and
lifted above it in 200 ms, back down when it hides. The viewer's size, colour,
background and outline settings style the text directly. Also fixes a test
typing slip from the search pill change.
On touch the 44 px key cap and Go filled a 44 px pill edge to edge and the
placeholder was cut. The key cap is left out on touch (⌘K still works), the
pill grows to 52 px so a ring shows round Go, the box's floor counts the
controls beside the text, and Go drops to its icon by the column's width,
not the screen's.
Brave on iPadOS switches element fullscreen off, patches requestFullscreen with
a video-only stand-in and fakes fullscreenEnabled, so the Plex fullscreen button
and the YouTube docked bar's did nothing. Support is now read off
Element.prototype and the buttons are left out without it (owner). A stand-in
that returns a boolean no longer throws. A test's bare matchMedia stub no
longer outlives its describe.
On an iPad a tap's synthetic mouseenter opened the Tooltip; WebKit then took the
tap as a hover and swallowed its click, so every rail button needed two taps,
and with no mouseleave from a finger the caption stayed up. Tooltip now opens
for a mouse and a key's focus only (owner: no captions on touch).
iPad WebKit kept a scrolled container's mask stuck to its content: at the
bottom of a scrolled page the last strip, a table's pager, sat under a dark
band. With nothing to fade there is no mask; isolation keeps its layer.
On an iPad a drag on the video scrolled the page behind the player, and in Brave
dvh did not follow the toolbar, so a strip of the page showed under it. The
page is now locked without overscroll on a black root while the player is open,
and the player is sized from its fixed box. The time row keeps the position,
the length and the end clock; the countdown is gone (owner).
On a narrow card (a tablet, a zoomed window) the unwrapped row of name, meta and
actions left the meta a one-word column. The row now wraps: the meta keeps at
least 12rem, and the actions move down together.
Measured: across the full width YouTube needs only its seek bar (up to 96 px
from the bottom); the 140 px is the fullscreen button's, at the right end. A
full-width 140 px band handed clicks on the picture to the iframe, which then
takes the keyboard focus and our shortcuts with it. The layer is now two boxes,
hidden from assistive tech (a mouse surface; the keys are its shortcuts), and
the tests render the big view too, where the docked bar sits under the iframe.
The click layer over the embed left the bottom 22 % of the stage free. YouTube's
new embed keeps its fullscreen button 80-128 px above the iframe's bottom, so on
a stage under ~580 px (a small window, a browser zoomed to 150 %) the layer lay
over it and a click paused instead. The cutouts now have px floors (56 top, 140
bottom) and are measured against the iframe's own box.
The cards, the up-next card and the mark-next label printed a question
mark where Plex has no number; the player's header already showed the
title alone. One helper (episodeNumbers/episodeName) for every place.
The stop-URL contract passed with the two ids swapped and read the backend
from the working directory; nothing called a real beacon's onSettled or its
library pass-through; the kept-point rule was held by its constants only.
The auto-skip countdown and the up-next card pushed an entry without a
user gesture (Chrome's Back button skips those), and one pushed under the
open shortcuts sheet sat above it, so Back closed the hidden layer.
Leaving the Plex player while one of its layers was up (the info panel when
the film ended, the countdown under the back arrow) landed as a user Back:
the overlay listener spent it closing the top layer and the player stayed.
useHistorySubview's open/back now go through closeOverlaysThenNavigate,
like setPage. The RECLOSE comment no longer cites the shared Plex entry.
Chrome does not hand the page the Escape it spends on leaving fullscreen (checked with a real
keypress: the first Esc leaves fullscreen, the second closes the player). The guard defended a case
that does not happen, under a comment saying it does. This reverts 121ebeeb.
The page gets the Escape keydown with the video still the fullscreen element. When that element is
the dialog's own content (the library player), closing the dialog took the player away with the
fullscreen. A dialog opened over something else that is fullscreen still closes.
ItemProgressIn repeated ProgressIn's config, fields and bounds; it now adds only `final`. The
threshold comment points where the constants live now, and plexProgressBeacon's comment is back
on it.
- The client's resume thresholds equal the server's (read from both sources).
- The session stop's URL matches the route the server serves it on.
- The player stops its server session by its item and its own id on an unload and on close,
and keeps it when the page only goes into the back/forward cache.
All the layers shared one history entry, so the first Back spent it on one layer and the second
left the player with the stats readout (or the countdown) still up. Each layer now holds its own
entry; Back closes the one opened last.
A poll already out when the player closed answered with the point the server held before the
closing beacon, over the row's patch; Continue then opened there and wrote it back. The close now
cancels the listings' fetches before patching and reads them again once the beacon has landed.
- The engine tracks the request out per item: A, then B, then back to A sent a second request
for A beside the one still out.
- A hardware transcode superseded during its fallback answered with the NEWER session; the losing
request's player then stopped it as stale. It now answers with its own (dead) session.
- A replaced hls.js instance's late manifest no longer marks the player ready or plays the
outgoing media.
- A pause given after the answer stands: the manifest and the first canplay read the live intent.
- The debounced A/V-offset restart is dropped on an item change instead of restarting the
previous item under the next one's title.
The portal host followed the fullscreen element into it. When that element is the dialog's own
content (the library player's <video>, by its f key or its own button), the move is into the host's
own descendant, which the DOM refuses: HierarchyRequestError in a layout effect, and the crash
screen replaced the app. The host now stays where it is then — the content already shows.
Vite's own answer was a bodiless 500, which the app reads as a real server fault and shows the blocking error dialog; a 502 is the passing connection loss it is.
Chrome keeps 50 entries a tab, and when the list is full a new entry drops the
oldest one the page left without a user gesture, which can be the page's own
entry under a sub-view or an overlay. A programmatic back() then left the
document; once it landed on an older entry whose restored Plex player started
playing on its own. Every programmatic back() now asks the Navigation API first
and, with no entry of this document below, settles in place: the sub-view turns
to its root, an overlay's entry drops its mark, the channel page and the YouTube
search clear.
An item can carry several credits blocks with mid- and post-credit scenes between
them, and Plex flags the one that really ends it. The player left at the first
block. Now the Plex-final block moves on (by the auto-skip or the Skip button), an
earlier block is only skipped to its end by the button, and with no final flag the
last block ends the item by the button alone.
A cached file that autoplays from 0:00 fires its one playing event before the resume hook
subscribes, so the hook never counted it as played and reported nothing - not on pause, not on
close. An element already playing when the hook subscribes now counts as played.
Plex, library and /watch tell the operating system what plays (title, line, picture) and take its
play / pause / skip / seek through one hook (lib/mediaSession); the Plex player drives it with its own
seek and clock, so the lock screen shows the film's position, not the stream's. The YouTube player is
left alone: its iframe already publishes all of it, and the OS routes to the frame that plays.
The library and /watch players get the basic keys (lib/mediaKeys, the keymap's mediaPlayer rows) and
open where the viewer stopped (lib/resume): the library keeps the point on the server, per user and
library item (library_states, POST /api/downloads/{id}/progress, listed back on both listings), the
shared link in this browser. A started library row continues, its menu can start it over, and its
picture carries the cards' progress bar. The resume rule (too early / near the end = from the start)
is one function shared with the YouTube route.
The library dialog opens focused on its panel (Modal initialFocus "player"): on the ✕, Space closed
the film. While the media element itself has the focus, Space and the arrows stay its own controls'
— the browser acts on them whatever a listener does, and one Space played and paused.
The ⋯ menu, the tracks menu, the tuning panel, the info overlay and the up-next card were a flag
each, so two could stand on top of each other, and Back/Escape were written out three times. They
are one `panel` value now; the stats readout stays a separate toggle beside it. One `back()` peels
the countdown, the panel, then the stats, then leaves — for the arrow, ⌫, Escape and the mouse
Back alike. The mouse Back now also closes the ⋯ menu instead of leaving the player.
PlexPlayer's session logic (generation, pending play intent, clock ownership, session offset, reclaim
budget, listener teardown) moves into lib/hlsEngine.ts, a plain class with hls.js behind lib/hlsPort.ts
and its own unit tests.
- A seek, track change or reclaim asked for while a session request is out replaces the queued
target; it is sent once the in-flight answer settles. A burst of 20 presses past the buffer was 20
requests and 20 ffmpeg spawns; it is now 2-3, and plays again ~2 s sooner.
- The player stops its server session when it leaves the item, closes or the page unloads
(POST /api/plex/stream/{rk}/session/{sid}/stop, identity-aware). A left transcode used to run to
the end of the film first.
- A restart asked for after a new session attached but before it played no longer reads the emptied
media as the viewer's pause.
- The fast join gives each ffconcat entry its own media-only format whitelist, so a library file
can no longer be opened as a nested concat list (the list's whitelist was handed down to it).
- A file the guarded probe cannot read is a download-only file, not a guess from yt-dlp's info.
- A conversion's or an ingest's commit that raises is re-read in a fresh session before any file
is removed: a commit that landed keeps the file its row now names.
- An original that cannot be removed after conversion is logged; the upload stays ready.
- An upload whose conversion is cancelled or deleted midway is freed once nothing holds it; a
paused one is kept.
- A shared link says "preparing" only while its video's job is queued or running.
- The admin storage view counts every file on disk ("Files on disk"), not only ready ones.
- A clip's failure title, unknown failure and cancel dialog, and a clip's and an upload's delete
dialog speak of what the job made; an upload's quota refusal explains that the original is kept.
- /watch announces "preparing" as an alert and moves focus to the new Retry after an action.
- The raw-source contract tests read files from disk (rawSources.testkit)
instead of import.meta.glob, which knip counted as importing every src file —
its unused-files lane could never name an orphan. knip now names
src/watchMain.tsx as an entry (registered in docs/gates.md).
- vite build fails when index.html or watch.html is not emitted.
- The watch-entry import walk follows dynamic import() too.
- audit_metrics.py's plan-code patterns are held equal to the guard's.
- CrashBoundary is domain-free: it moves into components/ui.
The 36rem floor guards the stacked layout's width/height feedback loop; the
wide side-panel card has no such loop, and on a short wide window the floor
made the video taller than the card, cutting off YouTube's control bar. The
floor now applies to the stacked layout only; e2e covers a 1400x380 window.
- Cancelling an upload asks "Delete upload?" and says the uploaded file is
removed from the server with it.
- The phone-safe conversion's real ffmpeg % shows as a bar ("Converting for
phones"), not an indeterminate pulse.
- A failed upload is titled "The upload isn't ready", with its own reasons
(convert_failed, retryable; upload_missing) instead of download copy.
- The inbox says "Upload ready to share" for a converted upload.
The public watch route answers video_preparing for an asset that is pending or
downloading, and the page shows "being prepared — try again" with a Retry
instead of "this link is gone". watch.html ships one lang; the page now sets
documentElement.lang to the language its strings were picked in.
- Every ffmpeg/ffprobe over a library file names the demuxers it may use
(edit.INPUT_GUARD; a downloaded thumbnail edit.THUMB_GUARD): a playlist-type
demuxer would read local paths named inside a user's upload.
- A re-encode ends on an even frame (edit.EVEN_FRAME): an odd 4:4:4/RGB source
failed its conversion; a clip stores the frame its file has.
- An upload counts against its owner's cap from the moment it lands (queued, or
kept after a failed conversion) — the footprint, the GC's cap and the admin
view read one ON_DISK predicate — and a conversion that outgrows the cap is
refused, keeping the original.
- The converted name keeps _a{id} (a dotted bare name once lost it and two
uploads shared a file); a converted file placed but not committed is removed,
and the orphan sweep enters .uploads; the LRU cap never evicts an upload.
- Ingest judges the extension the file is stored under; a failed conversion is
convert_failed / upload_missing, reports the "converting" phase, and notifies
as an upload. Job statuses in routes/downloads use JobStatus.
Two layout bugs since the player grew a side panel, both reported from prod.
Maximised (F) on a wide window, the video was a thin line across the screen: the side-panel layout
aligns the stage `self-start`, and Chrome applies a flex item's self-alignment to an absolutely
positioned box too, so the fixed stage took its content's height — 0 px. The maximised stage now
stretches between its insets whatever the layout asks of it.
On a short window under 1280 px (a laptop at 100%, a 1080p screen at 175%) only the side strips were
left: the card narrows so the chrome under the video fits, but that chrome grows as the card narrows
(its text wraps), and the loop ran the card down to 2 px. The video now never goes narrower than
36rem to make room; past that the card scrolls.
Measured before/after (localdev, real YouTube iframe): 1097×520 open 0×0 → 610×343; 1920×911 maximised
1920×0 → 1920×911; 1440×760 and 1366×650 maximised fill the window; leaving maximise restores the card.
Held by an e2e test at both sizes (red on the old code: 0 px wide, and 911 ≠ 0), green on Chrome,
WebKit and iPad.
